PLANNING AND ZONING BOARD MEETING
September 11, 1969
A regular meeting of the Miami Shores Planning and Zoning Board
was held at 7:30 p. m. , September 11, 1969, at the Village Hall, with the
following members present:
Mr. Donald W. McIntosh
Mr. Gordon H. Moyer, Jr.
Mr. Irving E. Horsey
Mr. Thomas B. Baden
Mr. Fred G. Astor
Mr. William R. Bradford, Building and Zoning Director, and Mr.
John W. McIntyre, Village Manager, were also present.
The first business was election of a new Chairman and upon motion
made by Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mr. Horsey and passed, Mr. Donald W.
McIntosh was named Chairman of the Board.
Minutes of the last meeting were approved as written by motion made
by Mr. Baden, seconded by Mr. Moyer and passed unanimously.
(1) A request was made by Dr. William Boyle and Dr. William
Ridinger for a zoning hearing on the property located at 9300 Biscayne Blvd.
to consider re -zoning said property from residential to "O", Professional
Office. October 9th was set as the date of the hearing by motion made by
Mr. Moyer, seconded by Mr. Baden and passed. The Board also requested
that our planning consultants, Harland Bartholomew & Associates, be notified
of this hearing.
(2) A request was made a year ago by Mr. and Mrs. Jesse Norman
to build on Lot 21, Block 14, Miami Shores Sub. , which plans were approved
subject to the elevation being changed and re -submitted. The plan that was
re -submitted at this time showed three outside entrances on one side of the
house. Mr. Moyer moved that the plan submitted at this time be approved,
providing certain changes are made which are, that the elevation be at least
18" above grade and that the door to the den and the door to the bedroom No. 1
be eliminated. The motion was seconded by Mr. Horsey. Mr. Astor asked
that the motion be amended to read that the elevation comply with the code,
which is 12" above the crown of the street. This amendment was accepted and
the amended motion was passed unanimously.
(3) The revised plan for a 50 unit apartment building to be con-
structed on the Mt. Vernon Motel site was presented to the Board. The
architect, Mr. Schneider, had eliminated entrances on the Boulevard frontage,
re -located some of the parking areas, added a wall along the Boulevard and
added more landscaping. Mr. Moyer moved that the Board recommend to the
9/11/69
-2-
Council that the site plan be approved as presented. The motion was seconded
by Mr. Baden who asked that it be amended to limit it to an apartment build-
ing of 60 bedrooms (as required by the County). Mr. Astor asked that the
motion include the Dade County requirement of 25% landscaping. The motion
with these amendments was passed unanimously. The architect was also
advised that the final plans would have to be re -submitted.
(4) A request was made by Mr. A. R. Marsico for approval of
the site plan for an office building to be constructed on Lots 25 and 26,
Block 59, which is on Park Drive between 91st and 92nd Streets. After a
review of this plan Mr. Horsey moved that the Boardrapprov'al to the Council
for the site plan and office building sketch, providing that final plans showing
adequate parking and landscaping come before the Board. Motion was seconded
by Mr. Baden and passed by four affirmative votes, with Mr. McIntosh
abstaining.
Mr. Moyer discussed the confusion that was brought about by the
Norman plans in their attempt to get immediate approval. The Board agreed
in the future that plans would not be considered except at a regularly con-
stituted meeting and that the Building Inspect or should point out all irregular-
ities beforehand.
The Board was shown pictures of a houseboat that is being docked in
the canal adjacent to the apartment property at 1280 N. E. 105th Street for
the purpose of providing future living quarters for one of the tenants. Mr.
Baden moved that the Board recommend to the Council that they investigate
the matter and take what appropriate action is necessary. Motion was seconded
by Mr. Astor and passed unanimously.
The meeting adjourned at 9:00 P. M.
